East Canyon 9/10

[Jig-fisher]

First, I never seem to do well at EC. On those occasions, I refer to it as "Eats Carrion" because of the skunk smell. Today, however, I'm calling it Steve Canyon, because today I caught a bunch of 'em. 

That ramp situation, however, about did me in. Having to hobble all the way to the top of the ramp so I could turn around and clamber down to the courtesy dock did a number on my leg and back issues. Gonna be a stiff and painful day tomorrow. 

Started off just before 8 and had the first smallie in the boat at 8:04. There was a bit of a chop and so I tied on a PopR. They liked it. The wind backed from south to northeast as the day went on, finally almost quitting altogether at noon. 

After the surface bite, they literally tore up a white Road Runner until the chenille and feathers came off. I replaced that with a 3" boottail minnow and they liked that even better. Ended up keeping two smallies for dinner, the larger one right at 15". 

Water was 65 at launch, creeping up to 67 at noon. I left shortly after a wake boat showed up to blast music and waves. 

Had a troller report catching a bunch of kokes, but had to release them all because they're closed now.

Edit to fix my typo in the title

Sounds like a great day. I have a bunch of roadrunners but rarely use them. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.
